(Mat. 16:25).
Very few of you fully comprehended
t h e full meaning of baptism when this
ordinance was performed. But perhaps
you do realize that when you were baptized-going down, symbolically, into a
watery grave-that
this was to signify
the DEATH of your old self (Romans
6 :3 )--and that you acknowledged that

And what
T h e Job Ahead
Events in Europe are moving faster
most people realize. It is uiial that
Gods niessage goes out very soon to
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal
and other European countries before it
IJ
roo late!
Many of these countries are just ripe
for tlic true gospel at this time. The
Frencli are disillusioned :ind disgusted
\vith the world mad, in many wnys, with
the Catholic chiirch. So are the Italians
--many of wlioni are Catholics in ~ i a v i e
only. Millions are turning to Comniunism as a desperate hope t o solve thcir
troubles. They are seeking for ~oiizethiiig
. . . they need Gods T R U T ~ ~ !
In West Germany, thousands of spirittinlly starved people recently turned
c i u t to hear a popular cvnngelist of this
\vorld who denies the h r , of God. But
these people were bmigry even for
C r u m b s of spiritiial food. An overflow
crowd jam-pscked every speaking place.
hlany Ckrnian minds and hearts are still
open to receive Gods truth. They have
not been poisoned again with the drug
of Nazi ideologies-not yet.
In Spain, I found in talking to many
of the coninion people that countless
thousands of them nre fed u p with
thc superstition, the fear, and the corruption so prevalent in the church-state
dictatorship which so rigidly controls
their lives. They would ziselcotne Gods
truth if He would open a door by which
\ve could reach them. And IF we do o m
part, He will!
Reinember that the first commission
IO :dl uf us ill Gods church is ro see tha[
the trite go.rpel is preached to all ndtiotzs
;is a witmxr (Mat. 24: 1 4 ) . After that,
nnd secondary to it, we are to feed the
flock-teach
and strengthen those in
Gods church (John 21: 15-17).
Think of the responsibility God has
placed on each of oiir xhoiilders-for
if we really belong to Christ and His
church; we must each do OILY pmt just
as certainly as Mr. Arrnstrong does his.
Think o f the iirillin~izs mid mi1Lioii.r of
people we have not yet even begun to
reach!
thui
Not h h c h Time
Consider the ainnzing rapidity of Germanys post-war recovery :ind the fact
that we are now in the process of granting her full .rowreigntlr and her oxiz
:irniy. Notice thc n e w releases about
Hiders former Generals cominp bxck
into power
Simply this-that
we must reach
many of these nations in Europe within
;
I very few years or it w
ill be too late!
Once this revival of the old churchstate Roman system takes place, it will
be i?izpossible-humanly
at least-to
reach many of the European nations
with Gods truth. God will see to it that
these nations are reached. But as in the
time of the apostle Paul, the exteirt to
which they are reached and number of
people conzerted as children of Codcoming under His protection during terrible events to come-all this is affccted
by the diligeizce and ZEAL with which
crjer-y one of ~ L Sdoes his pan co furdiet
Gods work.
Note Gods warning about a time
soon to come: The time is coming, says
the Lord Eternal, when I will send a
FAMINE on the land, no famine of
bread, no drought of water, but OF
HEARING THE WORD OF THE ETERNAL
Gods family.
Gud help yuu tu have rcal c o n ~ p a J J i o u
for these people in Europe, and the
millions of others throughout the world
that we are to reach with G o d s message.
Each of LIS can have a part in chmging
their entire lives-and
bringing them
into Gods owiz fmnily!

churned.
In I1 Samuel 17:29, cheese is translated from the Hebrew word shaphah.
It comes from a root word meaning to
cut-showing
that a hard cheese is
meant.
Temperance in All Things
In these passages we have ample
proof that both butter and cliecse, as
well as milk, are recognized as wholesome foods-as
part of the blessings
from God. Pauls statement that a babe
uses milk (Heb. 5:13-14) does not
mean that milk must not be used by
adults. Adults add stronger foods to their
diet, but still need milk.
Intemperate indulgence of good
foods, however, often makes us allergic

RECIPES f o r EVERYDAY

articles in the Good
News have discussed proper
methods for cooking meat and
vegetables without any specific recipes
being included. At the request of many
of you, we havc dccided to publish in
this issue a few tested recipes which we
believe will add variety and value to
your daily meals.
The following main-dish recipe has a
barbecue flavor that you will enjoy.

Even the terrifying Gerivlan V-2 missile that came screaming out of the
skies on England during World W a r I1
iooks like the inventors first attempt
when compared with the new developments being unveiled by science. There
:ire missiles now capable of carrying
atomic or hydrogen warheads across the
Atlantic in as little as 30 or 40 minutes!
The IDM (for intercontinental ballistic
missile) would be projected hundrcds
of miles into the stratosphere, where it
would travel a t a speed of from 4,000
to 5,000 miles an hour, to come crashing down on an unsuspecting city like a
miniature hell-fire! A g a i w t szcch s u p r dertrzrctiite toenpons there can be no defense!
The resignation of Japans Prime
Minister Yoshida touched off the initial
spark that will smoulder for a number
of years, finally igniting into a blaze of
full-fledged Communism. W e know
from prophecy Asia will finally be entirely devoured by the Communists, and
its not strange LO learn tlic successor to
Yoshida, who is Ichiro Hatoyama, has
Socialistic leanings, and favors trade
with Russia and Communist China.
Such phrases as resurgent nationalism
a n be seen in leading news magazines
with reference to Japan.
The United States and Grmt Rrirain are failing to learn the lessons written in the blood of millions through the
centuries. Its no longer a question of

EDUCATION
(Contimed from pnge 4
but the assertion of the nntural rights of
nian led tu tlic belief that children
should be properly trained to meet the
world.
Rejected the Bible
Educators did not look to Gods revelation for instruction on founding an
educational system. They used their brt?/innreuso?z and :idopted NATIONAL S Y S TEMS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. Because
they rejected the superstitions of the
Church of the Middle Ages, educators
rejected religion in general. They assumed that the pagan practices foisted
upon the world during the preceding
~
Thib
centuries came froin r l Bible!
demonstrates how little they studied to
prove what they believed. If educators
did not know how to arrive a t the truth,
how could their pupils be expected to?
The situation is no better today. Instructors are slaves to their textbmksslaves to authorities who disagree
among themselves.
Your neighbors probably see little
that is wrong with modern universal
education. They are not awarc of thc
trend in modern education-a
trend
into inaterialism and specialization zuitbont trniniitg the churacter and mind of
man to control and utilize his discoveries.
Children are just not being taught
that spiritual and technical knowledge
go hand in hand. The rules of right living are not understood because the entire society has departed from Gods
ways. While humanity has suddenly
progressed UP the road of industrial
achievement, we are at the same time
traveling dowa the highway of greed
and vanity. Insmiction in self-control
and character development is lacking in
the home, the school and the church.
Instead of our material comforts creating more joy, there is no nation on the
face of the earth which is so mentally
sick with criminal motives as the United States! We havrnt h w n trained to
use the material inventions we possess.
Page 8
R i i t that is the least important. The mnst
important part of education is character development-becoming like Godpatterning your life after His. That part
of education you can obtain in your
own home through prayer and diligent
study.
God is training you during this life
to enter the profession of being God.
The functions of God are multitudinous,
beyond our comprehension.
God is perfect. He always makes the
right decision, He is always fair, always
kind. Jesus commanded us to become
perfect as our heavenly Father. This life
is thc moment in which to lcarn to usc
the time, the opportunities, the material
wealth we possess. We need to apply
ourselves on our jobs or in our homes.
W e need to study every part of the
Bible till we become familiar with it.
This is no small task. If we handle this
responsibility well-if
we make use of
our opportunities just as Christ would
do if He were here, thcn it will be said
of us: He that is faithful in that which
is least is f&hfd Ldso in nzmh (Lukc
16:lO).
